AI depiction of Mar-a-Lago.

An armed man in his early 20s is alleged to have breached a secure perimeter at approximately 1:30 a.m. this morning. Agents saw something on the man that looked like a shotgun and a fuel can. He appeared at the north gate where he was confronted by Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputy. The man was declared dead. None of the agents or the deputy were injured. No others were injured.

From Fox News:

A man in his early 20s was shot and killed early Sunday after allegedly breaching the secure perimeter of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, the U.S. Secret Service announced.

The Secret Service said the incident occurred around 1:30 a.m. when the suspect made an “unauthorized entry” at the property.

The individual was observed near the north gate carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can.

Agents and a deputy from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) confronted the man who was pronounced dead at the scene.

No Secret Service or PBSO personnel were injured, and no Secret Service protectees were present at the location during the time of the incident, officials said.

The FBI, Secret Service and Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office are investigating, including the man’s background, actions and potential motive, as well as the use of force.

This story is developing.

Just another example of a mostly peaceful attempt at arson gone bad.

“The individual was observed near the north gate carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can”

Obviously someone who had just run out of gas and was
seeking assistance. Hell, it was middle of the night and in
a dangerous neighborhood, who can blame him for being
armed?

Agents and a deputy from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) confronted the man who was pronounced dead at the scene.

And they confronted him while he was dead? There is a sentence or two missing in that news report!

Radio says the man was ordered to drop the weapon, but he leveled it at the officers who then shot him.

He was then “…pronounced dead at the scene.”

“Abolish the Secret Service!!!!” Or should this just be a “Defund the Secret Service!!” Well, maybe we can just let this one slide with a couple of nazi references. Ugh, it’s so hard keeping up on what the correct Dem overreaction will be.

They’ll want to ban overnight security protection if it only save one violent Leftist sh*tbag’s life.

I don’t think visitor hours start at 0130. News just presented a picture of the pump shotgun. Evidently Mr. (Mrs?) Martin was not capable of good decision making, and now never will be. He will forever be a libtard hero like Renee of the not Good driving school.
